Didnt belive it . Tried it . Confused. What were they thinking when they decide to make this

iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn't and won't be unless I find a different job.

Then let's hope for a better windows in Europe

Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine

programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That's good but some people use windows for rootkitsgames that need bare metal or a more difficult vm setup

superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y

VM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out

Ah, so that's my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn't find it documented anywhere.

somw keyboards have an Office key.

perviouslyiner@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

Just tested, no it doesn’t.

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I think it'll be added in plasma 6 then, idk I remember seeing a merge request about it

BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I really gotta see a source for that. No way that would be merged.

I mean, it's be funny

It's a key sequence by default: Win, l, i, n, k, e, d, i, n, Enter

Excrubulent@slrpnk.net · 22 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Not if you turned off search results in the start menu.

mvirts@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 2y

By default 😹

There's more:

  • T: Teams
  • Y: Yammer (whatever that is)
  • O: Outlook
  • P: PowerPoint
  • D: OneDrive
  • L: LinkedIn
  • W: Word
  • X: Excel
  • N: OneNote
lud@lemm.ee · 13 pts · 2y

Yammer (now/soon called viva engage) is a weird social media service for internal usage inside a company.

I have no idea why it exists, but it does.

I'm not going to install Windows just to try this

AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net · 18 pts · 2y

Can verify, it works. Am horrified and baffled in equal measure.

LinkedIn lunatics eating good.

Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 27 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Question though: Does it ACTUALLY pick YOUR default browser, or does it pick their favourite browser?

vox@sopuli.xyz · 19 pts · 2y

it actually opens in the default browser

Well, it's a 'feature' on that one line of laptop. Besides it's not like shortcuts performance suffer because of this, it's merely an obscure 'fun to know'.
